I’m pretty sure that Utada Hikaru will release a new album soon. Soon might feel forever though. She’s probably “hibernating” right now because she just finished off her tour around the US & UK OR she’s back in a studio working on a new Japanese album. All the wait is worth it. Even for non-fans. Quite surprising.

regarding JE, I definitely agree! I wish Utada Hikaru would release more new music.

I have to agree with this. Seems the creative juices stopped flowing for some Japanese composers and music people. I’d like to think though that the whole scene is just on hiatus…

i know that its natural for the scene to have its highs and lows, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling disappointed anyway. the 90s was so much more fun and interesting when it comes to japanese pop music, and i’m really sorry that there are very few new pop acts who attract me as much as their predecessors did :/

truth! i studied and learned japanese because back then its pop culture was at its prime but now, j-pop doesn’t make sense anymore. i found myself listening more to korean group Girls Generation than Japan’s Morning Musume. the Japanese should realize this.
